Florentino Pérez sentences Vini with a date and a figure, reluctantly decides

The fate awaiting Vinicius Júnior was recently decided by Florentino Pérez

The season has already started for Real Madrid, but Vinícius Júnior's future still hasn't been decided. The Brazilian winger still hasn't renewed his contract, which is a situation that has led to an ultimatum from Florentino Pérez. According to what we know at Defensa Central, if Vinícius doesn't renew before next summer, he'll be put up for sale.

The first club to put €150 million on Real Madrid's table will be able to secure Vinícius's services. Clearly, this situation is neither the desired one nor the best for either side. However, Real Madrid has no intention whatsoever of letting Vinícius leave as a free agent.

Saudi Arabia has kept its interest in a player it wants to make its biggest star. In light of this statement from Real Madrid's president, all that's left is to wait for Vinícius's decision. If the months go by and nothing concrete happens with his renewal, his departure would start to become a near reality.

The decision with Vinícius

Signed in 2018 from Flamengo, Vinícius Júnior is currently one of the best players in the world. Despite having some difficult first seasons, the Brazilian managed to move forward thanks to the support and trust of Real Madrid. Since he was decisive in winning several trophies, his renewal is a priority.

His current contract ends in 2027, so Vinícius only has two more years with Real Madrid. While the club was confident it could renew without problems, the player himself has delayed this process. His indecision to extend his contract, along with the inconsistent performance he has shown since last season, has earned him several criticisms.

Although Real Madrid trusts Vinícius will renew, the club already has a clear plan in case it doesn't happen. At 25 years old, Vinícius must decide as soon as possible what he wants to do with his career. Although his talent is undeniable, the player won't be able to find a club similar to Real Madrid.

The wait for 2026

For now, both Real Madrid and Vinícius are focused on the current season. After debuting with a win in LaLiga, the club hopes to keep this great level. However, as the season goes on, the uncertainty around Vinícius will grow until the player makes a decision.
